An enormous solar flare expected to hit Britain could blow out the national grid leaving the entire country without electricity, scientists have warned.
Energy Secretary Chris Huhne
is considering a raft of options to protect electricity supplies including switching off the national grid entirely causing temporary blackouts.
It is believed that as the sun reaches a peak in activity over the next two years
unleash a 'class 5' flare
, knocking out computer systems and even throw satellites off course.
btw
the politicians know
